and the Digital Ageinstitutions in making dissertations available onlineby Salvo Candela, Dissertation Defense and Deposit OfficeWe live in a world where free and instant access todigital information is expected, whether through acomputer, a smartphone, or other device. This expectationof immediate access to online content has influencedour consumption of information, so it should come as no surprisethat a similar demand should have arisen for online accessto academic research.As universities and other research centers have been movingsteadily into the digital age, an increasing number of institutionshave embraced an open-access approach to the online availabilityof scholarly works. Columbia is no exception to this trend. Earlierthis year, the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory and ColumbiaUniversity Libraries each adopted formal resolutions callingon faculty, librarians, and other researchers to make papers andjournal articles available through open-access repositories suchas the university’s Academic Commons. The Graduate School ofArts and Sciences took a step in the same direction earlier thisyear by transitioning to an electronic dissertation deposit systemthat makes every Ph.D. dissertation simultaneously available onlinethrough Academic Commons as well as through ProQuest/UMI, the publisher that has provided to date the most prominentdatabase of doctoral dissertations and theses.Superscript 9Link back to contents page
